Abstract

Judicial review is the cornerstone for any society that can be considered truly democratic. The process of judicial review enables the courts to scrutinise the legality of administrative and legislative acts. Within the EU legal framework, Article 263 TFEU provides for the primary mechanism for this judicial oversight. Article 263 TFEU allows for direct challenges to the legality of EU measures, focusing on four key elements: the types of reviewable acts, eligible applicants, time limitations, and grounds for review.

A complete system of judicial review requires not only that Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies act lawfully, but also that they act when they have a duty to do so. The chapter focuses on the extent to which non-privileged applicants are adequately protected by the Union legal order, in particular as regards the rules relating to locus standi and -consequently- the right of access to a court.
